God on Campus

This story discusses the increase in evangelicals at Harvard. Apparently, one of the major reasons is the higher number of non-Anglos (African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians) who are dedicated Christians.

I’ve yet to see any figures on the increasing number of Mormons at America’s universities, but I would guess that the difference is huge. Just to give you one idea, when I went to Stanford in the early 1980s, there was no ward and students met off-campus with the local family ward. Now, there are two very active wards and an Institute program. My wife tells me that Colorado State, her alma mater, has had an even bigger increase.

So, let’s produce some Bloggernacle firepower — tell the world how your student wards (and perhaps even stakes) have grown at your universities in the past few years. The growth may even dwarf the increase in evangelicals at Harvard.
